What do struggles for women's and LGBTI+ rights in Russia Turkey and the Scandinavian
countries have in common? And what can actors who struggle for rights and justice in these
contexts learn from each other? Based on a multisited ethnography of feminist and LGBTI+
activisms across Russia Turkey and the Scandinavian countries this Open Access book explores
transnational struggles on various levels from the micro-scale of the everyday to large-scale
spectacular events. Drawing on ethnographic insights and encounters from various sites this
book conceptualizes resistance as situated in the grey zone between barely perceptible even
hidden or covert forms of mundane activist practices and highly visible street protests
gathering large crowds. Taking the reader beyond the dichotomies of visible invisible and
public private this book advances new understandings of resistance solidarity and activism
in transnationalizing feminist and queer struggles illustrated by rich ethnographic case
studies from Russia Scandinavia and Turkey.
